Very soon I will have the same task ... and I admit that I am not keen to accomplish it. But it has to be done and ... like you ... I will try do my best to be patient and benevolent vs. that new person. It is not easy for the beginners either!
Aaaaahhhh... our compassionate community...
COMPASSIONIZING! he he..
Lemme c wair 2 start.....
I used to do a lot of "Business Consulting," sort of "Efficiency Expert" kind of thing. It often happened that I noticed the slow part, or poor worker, but couldn't just come right out and say it. Often I had to use a nifty strategy like: "Gee Betty, you are so good with customers in person, and don't like them over the phone so much (and there are complaints...) so maybe you should focus on what you like, and give the phones over to Sue?
That is just an example of diverting the issue, using compliments and positive alternatives rather than calling the spade the spade.
Susan, one of the main things I always did, and do, when going into any business meeting, is positive visualization JUST OUTSIDE THE DOOR. "On the other side of this door, whatever negative energies and fears anyone has, are washed away and we are all happy, joking and getting along marvelously after I talk to them." This carries over to how office procedures and tasks are handed out, managed and so on.
A lot of visualizing how things can go the best should be used, in many cases it is HOW THE APPRECIATING HAPPENS, or doesn't, and helping people not mind that they don't get the credit they (think they) deserve. The bottom line is that the business/office/group work well and efficiently, not taking stresses or problems home over the weekend and such, and this is usually best if some people are like not deeply in their reactive feelings "he didn't ___!" "they aren't appreciating ____!"
those will always happen! people, at least SOMEONE, should be thinking beyond those energies - maybe buy gold starts and simply hand them to people, give jelly bean rewards to whomever you think (and they themself feel) deserve rewards. You wouldn't believe the amazing power of some little gold stars handed out!
I also always learned to find out why the last person left a job, and are they trying to merge 3 people's responsibilities into the new "job description." By the way, is there one? A JOB DESCRIPTION? Use that to see if your pay is appropriate for the tasks.. and WITHOUT ANY BLAMING...
Find out if the smoothest processes are set up for your job duties to work the best - for all.
Beeeeeeest of luck! Relax and unwind until you have to work again! Congrats! Soooo glad we can have this chat.. really!
Love and light being, Teo
